I foundStingerto be a pulpy guilty pleasure, featuring both creepy scenes of horror and large-scale action.
It was not until showrunner Ian McCulloch spoke toBloody Disgustingthat I realizedTeacupwould be “99.8” different fromStinger.
It was taking the basic conceit of the book and seeing if it would work.

To my mind, the book exists.
If you want the experience of the book, go read the book.
This is a very different thing.

To everybodys credit, they let us, me and my writers, go as far as we wanted.
I think youd be hard-pressed to find more than two or three things that have survived from the book.
Since reading about McCulloch’s approach, I’ve found myself far less excited forTeacup.
It sounds like it’s reworking the story into a mystery box series in the vein ofLostorFrom.
Again, the book itself left room for improvement, and McCulloch’s previous work on series likeYellowstoneandDeputyinspires confidence.
Yvonne Strahovski previously faced off with unfriendly aliens inThe PredatorandThe Tomorrow War.
